Love the music, love the name, love the horse! I am a big fan of you and Grave Digger. Ablsolutely LOVE that you don't stack and chain him. I wish every person that raised TWHs would emulate your love, kindness, and responsiblity for this wonderful breed.
Can someone please confirm for me that Gravedigger is actually gaiting and not pacing (when he goes very very fast). It looks, to my semi trained eye, that he drops into a pace, but dangit I cant slow it down to know for sure. Any assistance? Thank you
This is absolutely amazing! Thank you for posting this! For all you naysayers and critisizers--there is nothing wrong here. Why do so many people think that their opinions are The Way. Some of you remind me of rabid and judgemental spiritualists...please, PLEASE keep an open mind...We all know our own individual animals, nothing more, and what we know does NOT apply to everyone elses'. I'm so sick of the negativity. Get a life.
nice that is some speed ive seen a quarter horse appie but he was galloping full out so for him to go 25 mph at a trot that amaazing even if he is a speed racker
No really you are pathetic this animal is not running he is doing his NATURAL gait. He does this barefoot and lives what he does. Do your homework before you down people please.
@virginiagravedigger There is nothing natural i.e. in nature about screwing with horses that have an abnormality and to keep introducing that abnormality because humans like it. Ever see some of the fucked up dog breeds. You obviously don't get the point. If one of these so called natural horses of yours were to be born and live in the wild they wouldn't have some moron "asking" the horse to walk like a retard. This is YOUR gait not the horses.
@Seapaddler oh & BTW my first horse wz a tennessee walker- i got her when she wz 3 & not broken in 2 ride yet - SHE WAS NEVER TRAINED &when my uncle finally got her used 2 a saddle& bridle& she accepted me as her rider - the VERY FIRST TIME that i tried 2 ride her at a fast clip - i gave her the whole "giddy yup" and she IMMEDIENTLY started the fast one beat step movement - she did NOT TROT like a quarter horse! it confused me at first! but her NATURAL "trot" wz that beautiful smooth gait!
@Seapaddler Racking horse/Pacers and Trotters are all naturally gaited that way - the racking horse gait is also the true movement of the Tennessee Walker - but the racking horse association is dedicated 2 preserving the breed in its "NATURAL" state -NO boots or chains when they train or show - theyre doing the gait naturally hoofed w/natural tail set - no fake tails settin up high on the back -you tube tennesse walker CELEBRATION SHELBYVILLE TENNESSEE & u will see the UN-NATURAL big lick gait
@Seapaddler DUDE! nothin UNnatural in this horses "GAIT" i agree w/other poster i think u're confusin this natural gait with wats called the "BIG LICK GAIT" of the Tennessee Walking Horse wher they train on BIG tall "boots" &chains & it throws th horse back on its hind legs&makes him throw his front feet WAY out in an exagerated forward move they call the "big lick" u need2tube that then Google this- Wikipedia Horse gait -&THIS- Wikipedia Racking horse - The Tennessee Walker, Paso Fino
@Seapaddler This gait is found in most feral and ancient horse breeds in the world. Marwari horses in India, Russian Basjkir, Icelandic, Mustangs, they all have this gait and show it at pasture and in the wild. It was much more common in earlier times, during the Middle Ages both Friesians, P.R.E. (Pura Raza Española) and most European warm bloods were "gaited", and were more common than those who weren't. When classical dressage was developed the gaits were considered "lowly" and were bred out.
In fact, during the Middle Ages gaited horses were very much sought after by merchants and travelers because of the comfortable (and fast) movement, they were very much "peoples' horses" for this reason. The war horses of the mounted knights were not gaited, because they had to be able to passage and piaffe easily (to spin and switch speed in battle). Look up the Spanish Jennet or Palfrey for more info.
@hoglorfen Your information is not correct. Gaited horses were much more prevalent and sought after before the advent of hard roads, but they were never common. Only the middle and upper classes could afford them. Virtually all cross breeds would have had some gaited individuals, but if the trait is not natural in the locality, it takes a great deal of breeding effort to maintain. All gaited horses breeds have a common ancestry - but I'm talking 100,000 years ago.
@Seapaddler Your point is invalidated by the fact that this is a natural gait that this breed of horse are born and bred with. They can and do do this in the field. The only difference is the rider asking him to go fast here. It's natural otherwise.
@Seapaddler Please, educate yourself Seapaddler--I think you're confusing the Tenn. Walking Horse's that have their feet built up, then the trainer does what's called "soring" of the horse's coronary bands, pasterns and heels to get the exaggerated motion. Google soring and pay particular attention to the extremely long feet and VERY heavy shoe and you'll see the difference.
Wow.... I keep looking at rackers and I'm not big on a speedracker for myself (just not in a real hurry to get anywhere) but I find myself drooling all over my key board when I see this video. Thanks for sharing. That is a magnificient horse.
I have ridden with alot of horses here in florida and have seen no speed rackers that actually rack. Lots that pace! and yea the pacers can blow Dig away because he actally does stay in a rack.
Love the rackers, seen a horse at kentucky horse park that did 36 mph in an arena 9 time champion saddlebred. Love those rackers! thanks for the video!!!!
Then lets cross. The babies I have seen out of Dig so far all seem to have wings so crossed with a mare with speed the baby would be fueld by jet fuel. LOL
Love this horse! My first gaited horse was a foxtrotting fool who also loved to rack and we would fly - watching the Gravedigger always reminds me of him!
Beautiful, amazing horse! I love his build, you can tell he's well mannered. Love the horse.... will probably be emailing to find out about stud service! I did vote for him, hope he WINS!
@virginiagravedigger he looks calm and happy and almost like he's strutting his stuff ;) The first time I saw horse like this was at a stable I had my AQH at, all my grandfather and I could do was stare. I think if he had the time and was in better shape, my grandfather would have jumped at the chance to own a horse like this. I hope one day to be so lucky.
Holy Wow! I got so excited just watching him move. Pay to breed to him? Heck, I'd pay to ride him for 5 minutes! ;-) Great song choice, too. Love it. Is the 2nd horse in the beginning of the video a racking horse also? I adopted what I was told is a quarter/arab cross who has a odd little walking gait like that one does. I'm going to upload a video showing it today or tomorrow.
Wow! That's the funniest gait I've ever seen on a horse and IT'S COMPLETELY NATURAL! Wow! Ha ha, amazing horse you have, you're very lucky. Looks like a great guy! ;D
We have proverb in Kyrgyz: If you live one day, ride racking horse until noon! Kyrgyz racking horses also great but our competitions for 30-40 km with dozens of racking horses are absolutely different from those you are watching.
I am sorry you feel this way. This horse is always happy. He loves what he does. All I have to do is hold the bit up and he takes it from me. You must not know gaited horses to make that comment.
@rachelsbeauty Gotta tell ya, I own his full brother, Undertaker's Mojo and my boy is always happy- and he's even more happy when he's on the trail, going long and strong...Are ya sure you know what you are talking about? Have you ever seen Digger in person? I doubt it, or you would not have made such a comment. Just like Mojo, Digger loves what he does too.
as for those who commented it is cruel to make them do this, not natural etc,
well all i can say is in the horses reality, as a prey animal it is not natural at all to have ANYTHING on their back so no matter what breed of horse or gait you use even walking very slowly or just standing still, you should lable yourself cruel as well. true partnership as displayed here is a beautiful thing.
IT IS DEFINATELY NOT TROTTING if you think it is trotting have you actually seen a horse trotting or more accurately the rider? bounce bounce bounce, my chest is killing me at the thought of trotting at this speed lol, trotting is not smooth like this.
Wow, I am a life time Egyptian Arabian fanatic, but hmm He would be able to turn me lol.... if only my arb could rack like this i would be the happiest girl in the world ! ( no not saying he can rack at all, just that i would love it) I have a few comments about some nasty comments on here after going through all of them.
don't like the music? don't put it down, TURN IT DOWN duh impossible to use music 100% of people like...
This is sooo coooooolllll what a great vid love the music,,,,,just bought a TW....an am so looking forward to experiencing this breed....coming from Scotland an arabians..this is to be enjoyed
This horse is gorgeous--love his conformation. Very well put-together video. I have it saved to my favorites and play it when I want a serious case of GOOSEBUMPS!
I have read all the comments people have left for Gravedigger, The only reason i can see why anyone would put down this beautiful horse is just plain jealousy. He is a drop dead Gorgeous horse.
oooooooo! i wanna do dat! lol i hve a champion how horse i just bought ,Aerial Assault. I think i might be able to get him to world grand champ like most of his whole family and like his dad gens armed and dangourous. amazin horse by the way . how o you get a tenasee walking horse to gallop? lol just asking i know hes racking im just curious
Thanxs for the reply in regard to Digger having a son standing in California.
I am sorry to hear there isn't one. I had a standardbred I broke to ride, she was fast and had come from the track. I rode her bareback in my 20's at quite a clip. Digger brings those memories back!!
Actually the other horse riding with Digger at the begining of this video is Undertaker's Ace and I believe he is standing in California. Just thought I would let you know.
how do u get trotters to do the fox trot. im buying a trotter who used to race but after being retrained as a riding horse he does normal trot, i was wondering if theres a way i could get him to do this amazing gate. x
These horses are bred to do this. It is not a foxtrot it is a rack or single foot. There is a big differance. Foxtrotters actually trot behind these horses do not. Good luck with your horse.
Not that I am aware of. His father may have some but I do not believe Digger does. He only had one son before I bought him and he was in N.C. so unless they sold him I would have to say no.
I dont just like the way ! I L-O-V-E the way he moves .Looks like he has it all Style, Speed and very smooth.You all are so very lucky to own him.I also love the way this guy rides this horse they compliment each other.
I am sure Tex will be very nice. We have trained 2 Undertaker colts and they were both awsome. One was Dig and the other was Udertakers Ace. I didn't think he was quite as nice as Dig but I am also Partial to Dig. Tex will be great you will see.
Wow! he is amazing. I'm new to horses and I don't have my own yet so excuse my novice questions but what type of saddle is the best for walking/racking horse? English, Western, etc..
Sorry I do not race Digger and I never claimed he was the fastest just the smoothest at high speeds with alot of presence. Thans for the challenge though.
Icelandics are fast but I don't know that they are better. I believe it is all in the eyes of each of us which is our favorite. All horses are wonderful animals and they are all great I do not feel that one is better than another.
i want to ask if u train them to have that pace or are born with this gift? in greece (where i am from)we have such horses but they are born like this we don't train them.i would be obliged if you show me how u train them!!!! thanks
Beautiful horse!! I have a racking horse - haven't clocked him yet but we gait and my friends on Arabs and Quarter Horses are galloping. Fun Fun FUN!! And, they have wonderful personalities. No spooking, great ground manners. Best out there.
i have a speed racker, they are soooo much fun, me and my mom take our walkers to this park that has a huge field in it and we race them across--mine racks on while hers has to run to keep up, i love the color, very beautiful
That horse is amazing! Love the music...it's perfect for him. I turn this on every now and then just to feel good. Really gets you going! Thanks so much for making this video!
Oh, I thought he was a Walker. I just do three - gait saddleseat, so I don't know alot about what gaits look like, but I do know what gaits go to what horse.
Love the music, love the name, love the horse! I am a big fan of you and Grave Digger. Ablsolutely LOVE that you don't stack and chain him. I wish every person that raised TWHs would emulate your love, kindness, and responsiblity for this wonderful breed.

I have read all the comments people have left for Gravedigger, The only reason i can see why anyone would put down this beautiful horse is just plain jealousy. He is a drop dead Gorgeous horse.

Thanxs for the reply in regard to Digger having a son standing in California.
I am sorry to hear there isn't one. I had a standardbred I broke to ride, she was fast and had come from the track. I rode her bareback in my 20's at quite a clip. Digger brings those memories back!!
QTEE500yearsofwaitin 2 years ago
We do ship Semen on Digger. He has a full Brother in California named Undertaker's Ace. If that helps. We also trained him.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
Actually the other horse riding with Digger at the begining of this video is Undertaker's Ace and I believe he is standing in California. Just thought I would let you know.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
It does thanxs for the info!!
QTEE500yearsofwaitin 2 years ago
how do u get trotters to do the fox trot. im buying a trotter who used to race but after being retrained as a riding horse he does normal trot, i was wondering if theres a way i could get him to do this amazing gate. x
jodieluvsmoo 2 years ago
These horses are bred to do this. It is not a foxtrot it is a rack or single foot. There is a big differance. Foxtrotters actually trot behind these horses do not. Good luck with your horse.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
Wow! Such fluidity of movement! Very impressive =] And what a lovely gait as well!

Does this stallion have any sons standing in southern California?
QTEE500yearsofwaitin 2 years ago
Not that I am aware of. His father may have some but I do not believe Digger does. He only had one son before I bought him and he was in N.C. so unless they sold him I would have to say no.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
He's so beautiful!

shermiller57 2 years ago
Thank you so much. We think he is pretty special and are very blessed to have the oportunity to own such an awsome animal.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
Digger is an awesome horse-I'm proud to own his brother. Just hope Mojo (aka Tex) will grow up just like him!
rivasranch 2 years ago
I am sure Tex will be very nice. We have trained 2 Undertaker colts and they were both awsome. One was Dig and the other was Udertakers Ace. I didn't think he was quite as nice as Dig but I am also Partial to Dig. Tex will be great you will see.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
Wow! he is amazing. I'm new to horses and I don't have my own yet so excuse my novice questions but what type of saddle is the best for walking/racking horse? English, Western, etc..
kgard43 2 years ago

i got one that will walk off from any day any time anywhere
hallbrakeboy21 2 years ago
Sorry I do not race Digger and I never claimed he was the fastest just the smoothest at high speeds with alot of presence. Thans for the challenge though.

icelandic horses are better !!!
MimiWichmann 2 years ago
Icelandics are fast but I don't know that they are better. I believe it is all in the eyes of each of us which is our favorite. All horses are wonderful animals and they are all great I do not feel that one is better than another.
virginiagravedigger 2 years ago
i want to ask if u train them to have that pace or are born with this gift? in greece (where i am from)we have such horses but they are born like this we don't train them.i would be obliged if you show me how u train them!!!! thanks

a very confused one if your pony is not gaited. better stick to the same breed as your pony is.

Beautiful horse!! I have a racking horse - haven't clocked him yet but we gait and my friends on Arabs and Quarter Horses are galloping. Fun Fun FUN!! And, they have wonderful personalities. No spooking, great ground manners. Best out there.

Oh, I thought he was a Walker. I just do three - gait saddleseat, so I don't know alot about what gaits look like, but I do know what gaits go to what horse.

Also a running walk is generally not as fast as his slow rack let alone his fast rack.
